Basket of bears

Watching the stereo go round and round?

Cutie

Mommy pick me up

Chrissum time again!

Sammy do it all by herself

Cheese!

At least Camus slept nearby

Sick Daddy

Daddy Magnetism

The healing power of plushie bowling pins

Pulling her own weight

Setting off on our holiday trek to PA

Sleeping off the jet lag in her own room in PA

Making Pizzelles with Mom-mom

Ren inspects the cookie cutters

Sam wears her mother's vintage apron

Cookie Master

Rolling out the dough

Private cookie lessons from Mom-mom

Sam's teeny little cookies

Rolling

These are "mines"

Setting the floor for tea

Tea time with Aunt Maureen

Christmas Eve

Sam appropriates her mother's new hat and scarf

And the stockings are hung

The next morning...

A new bear
